Hello, LBT I have finally submitted my documents to my insurance company. So the wait begins. I have been on this site for awhile and have read many many posts. I would like to thank you all for your honesty and success stories. I have started a blog and would love for you guys to join me on my journey.

Thanks again and I promise to be more verbal from here on out.:thumbup:

If you don't mind me asking.... What documents did you have to submit?... I am afraid of this part, because the only diet I have really paid any money for, was nutri-system. and I don't even have any proof of being on it. I know I will have to send in a letter from the physician, but other than that, what can I expect?... and CONGRATS!!!! i know you're excited. I can't wait till I get to that stage. :thumbup:

Hi Realtruelady,

I have just started on this site and am finding it very helpful for me altho there do not seem to be anyone that is in my local area... Good thing, I guess, since I intend to not tell anyone that does not really need to know. I have had all my apointments and the Dr has written to the insurance company. I am playing the waiting game now. I am praying for a quick acceptance and then a surgery date. :thumbup:

Can you tell me how you got your dates and the ticker thing on your profile? I would like to add mine and have been struggling with it. :tt2:

Today I recived my surgery date and can't stop smiling.

As for the paper work submitted, it consisted of my psych evaluation and medical records. I also believe the surgeons office completed a form.

As for the signature block, go to the user cp and click edit signature block. The weightloss ticker is another website which you can click on my block. You just copy the bb code in to the text box.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
